‘Now it’s over,’ says beautiful after Rubiales declared guilty

Madrid, Spain (AFP) – The International of Spain Jenni Hermoso said on Saturday that the test caused by the forced kiss of the former president of the Luis Rubiales Spanish Federation finally “ends”.

On Thursday, a judge of the Superior Court of Spain found Rubiales guilty of sexual aggression for the kiss and fined 10,800 euros (US $ 11,300), but saved a prison sentence.

“After all, this will create an important precedent in a social environment where there is still a lot to do,” said the player in a publication on the Instagram social networks.

“I have my heart full with each of the people who have been, and they will continue with me in this fight.

“And now, yes, it’s over.”

Beautiful and his teammates used the phrase “It’s Over” in their struggle for justice after the incident, which occurred after Spain won the Women’s World Cup in September 2023.

Rubiales initially refused to give up his position as head of the Federation, but finally departed under immense global pressure.

On Friday, the player’s lawyer, Angel Chavarria, told AFP that his intention was to appeal the sentence, and prosecutors sought a prison sentence of two and a half years for Rubiales.

Rubiales was also acquitted of coercion, for allegedly trying to press beautiful to make a public statement that the kiss was consensual.

The 47 -year -old man also said after the verdict who will appeal.
